Density, viscosity and speed of sound of aqueous solutions of nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20) and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate (Tween 60) at T = 293, 303 and 313 K are reported. From these measured values different parameters such as, for example, isentropic compressibility, molecular free length, acoustic impedance, primary hydration numbers and internal pressure have been calculated and employed to discuss molecular packing, structural alteration and molecular interactions. The variation in these parameters with temperature indicates that the mobility of surfactant molecules increases the disordered state of the liquid (surfactant + water) due to irregular packing of the molecules. Also, for Tween 20 solutions, more conversion to bulk water of the structured water molecules was observed, obtaining lower compressibilities and higher values of hydration numbers as well as internal pressure for a given T.

In this work, acoustic, thermal, and optical properties were tested on the different concentrations of the Disodium Tartrate solutions. First, the viscosity studies were analyzed for the Disodium tartrate in the concentration range from 2% to 20% with different temperatures 303K, 308K, 313K, and 318K. It was noted that the relative viscosity and the activation energy of the prepared compound increase with increases in concentration and decreases with temperature increases. The properties like density and ultrasonic velocity are varied when increases the concentration of the aqueous solutions of Disodium Tartrate. In this study, the values of adiabatic compressibility show an inverse behavior when compared with ultrasonic velocity due to the interaction between solute and solvent molecules. Also observed that the inter-molecular free length is maximum for a lower percentage. The free volume for the compound is maximum at 2% and a minimum of 20%, since it reduces when the internal pressure increases. It was revealed that the classical absorption coefficient and relaxation time for Disodium Tartrate is minimum for lower percentage and minimum for a higher percentage. The interactions between the solute and solvent are confirmed through the property like specific Acoustical impedance. It was noted that the increase in internal pressure increases the concentration of the compound. The ion-solvent interaction was discussed by the relative association study, thus the values of relative association increases with an increase in concentration. The Rao’s and Wada’s constant increases linearly in aqueous solutions of Disodium Tartrate for the entire system.

The densities (ρ), and ultrasonic velocities (u) of 1-Butyl-2, 3-dimethylimmidazolium chloride,[bdmim]Cl in aqueous solutions of Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide over the complete range of concentrations has been calculated at different temperatures T= (298.15 to 313)K. Experimentally obtained values of ρ and u were used to calculate the parameters like acoustic impedance (Z), isentropic compressibility (βS), molar sound velocity (Rao’s constant) (R), molar compressibility (Wada’s constant)(W), intermolecular free length (Lf), co-efficient of thermal expansion (α), heat capacity ratio (γ), isothermal compressibility (βT) and nonlinearity parameters (B/A). The final results obtained were analyzed to understand the ion-solvent and ion-ion interaction so taking place in the solutions. Further, the effect of temperature on the ion solvent interactions was discussed. Ion-solvent interactions are affected by the thermo acoustical properties and by nonlinear parameters.

Abstract Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory hydrophobic drugs (NSAIDs) are amongst the most commonly given categories of drugs worldwide in the treatment of pain, irritation and some of them even fever in many conditions. Critical micelle concentration of NSAIDs with Naproxen sodium (NS) and its mixture with non-ionic surfactants i.e. Tween 20, Tween 40 and Tween 60 was investigated at 293 K, 303 K, 313 K and 323 K at different concentrations using surface tension and dynamic laser light scattering (DLS) techniques. Due to amphiphilic behaviour in aqueous solution NS form aggregates at sufficiently high concentration. Thermodynamic/adsorption properties like free energy of micellization (ΔGmic), enthalpy of micellization (ΔHmic), entropy of micellization (ΔSmic), Γmic and area per molecule (A2) of NS in the presence of surfactants were also measured at different temperatures. The results showed that the presence of surfactants favoured the ΔGmic and become more enhanced with increase in temperature. Further the solubility of drug is more favourable with increase in polyethylene chain in basic surfactant molecules i.e. 20–60, which indicates that Tween-60 enhanced the solubility of NS more comparatively to Tween-40 and Tween-20 and may be applied as best additive for solubilisation of NS.

Water is designated as “Universal solvent” due to its physical and chemical attributes. Water becomes attracted to different types of molecules due to the polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms having partial negative and positive charges. The density (ρ), ultrasonic velocity (U), viscosity (η) and refractive index (nD) of the aqueous solutions of 1, 2-ethanediol / 1, 2, 3-propanetriol have been determined at three different temperatures. Derived properties such molar volume (V), isentropic compressibility (ᵝs), acoustic impedance (Z) and free length (Lf) have been calculated using density, ultrasonic velocity and refractive index values at the measured temperatures. To evaluate various, inter and intra-molecular associations present in the systems, the excess properties (VE, ᵝsE, ZE, Lf E, ηE and ∆nD) are estimated. The excess values obtained experimentally have been fitted to the Redlich -Kister polynomial equation. Multiple linear regression and mixing rules have been adopted to calculate the viscosity and refractive index for the aqueous solutions at 298.15, 308.15 and 318.15K.

Magnetic multi-wall carbon nanotubes (M-MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent for removal of furaltadone from aqueous solutions, and the adsorption behaviors were investigated by varying pH, sorbent amount, sorption time and temperature. The results showed that the adsorption efficiency of furaltadone reached 97% when the dosage of M-MWCNT was 0.45 g · L−1, the pH was 7 and the adsorption time was 150 min. The kinetic data showed that the pseudo-second-order model can fit the adsorption kinetics. The sorption data could be well explained by the Langmuir model under different temperatures. The adsorption process was influenced by both intraparticle diffusion and external mass transfer. The experimental data analysis indicated that the electrostatic attraction and π–π stacking interactions between M-MWCNT and furaltadone might be the adsorption mechanism. Thermodynamic analysis reflected that adsorption of furaltadone on the M-MWCNT was spontaneous and exothermic. Our study showed that M-MWCNTs can be used as a potential adsorbent for removal of furaltadone from water and wastewater.

AbstractIn many relevant situations, water is not in its bulk form but instead attached to some substrates or filling some cavities. We shall call water in the latter environment confined water as opposed to bulk water. It is known that the confined water is essential for the stability and the function of biological macromolecules. In this paper, we provide a review of the experimental and computational advances over the past decades concerning the understanding of the structure and dynamics of water confined in aqueous solutions of biological relevance. Examples involving water in solution of organic solutes (cryoprotectants such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), sugars such as trehalose) are provided.

Abstract There are two kinds of water in CuSO4·5H2O differing by their binding in the crystal. The oxygen of four water molecules is bonded to the copper ion, that of the fifth molecule is hydrogen bonded. It is shown that the D/H ratios of these two kinds of water differ by 5.7%, the light isotope being enriched in the water molecules coordinated with the copper ion. The results show that there is no exchange of the hydrogen isotopes during the time needed for dehydration at room temperature which takes several days. The assumption has been confirmed that the water coordinated with the copper ion leaves the crystal first on dehydration at temperatures below 50 °C. Additional measurements of the separation factor for the hydrogen isotopes between water vapor and copper sulfate solutions allow conclusions on the fractionation of the hydrogen isotopes between bulk water and hydration water in aqueous solutions.
